"When you asked me about having a secret, I thought it was just a form of greeting." -Kate Greenstreet, from The Last 4 Things

War



You are the conductor of a huge orchestra

it is opening night everyone sounds like

the rush of the sea you tap your baton

against the podium nobody moves

everyone continues to talk you decide to

start and everything is all wrong the tubas

sound like the trombones the trumpets like

the oboes the violins the saxophones

the cellos like birds chirping the drums cry

like babies the flutes a piano and you you

yell and emit the sound of a siren and all

the noises together produce such a

magnificent melody and it’s opening night

and the sea the sea is applauding for

you and you're helplessly confused
